This is very handy for development sites, and for providing members-only sites with no publicly-visible content. This simple add-on plugin for Restricted Site Access adds a notification icon and message to the admin bar, showing the site’s current restriction status. This notification is only visible to admin-capable users, and means that an admin can always see the site’s current restriction status at a glance. The plugin shows a locked padlock and a RESTRICTED status message if the Site Visibility setting has been restricted to logged-in or allowed-by-IP users. It shows an unlocked padlock and an UNRESTRICTED status message for all other settings of Site Visibility. ## Screenshots * [[ * Admin bar showing status when site access is restricted * [[ * Admin bar showing status when site access is unrestricted ## Installation 1. Install this plugin via the WordPress plugin control panel, or by manually downloading it and uploading the extracted folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory. 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress. 3. That’s all! There are no configurable options for this plugin. ## FAQ ### I’m not seeing the notification in my admin menu bar – help! For the notification to appear, the following things are required: 1. The Restricted Site Access plugin should be both installed and activated. 2. You should be logged in using an account with permission to activate plugins ( e.g. a site admin or multisite admin/super-admin account.) Check that both of these are true if you’re not seeing the notification in the admin menu bar. ### Can I use this plugin with older versions of WordPress? The plugin may work with older versions of WordPress (for example, it runs successfully in WP 3.6). However, the padlock icons will not appear in the admin bar for releases before WP 3.8. ### I hate the coloured padlock icons, how do I remove their colour? You can use the following CSS to set the padlock icons back to the default colour/ theme-specified colour: ### wpadminbar .flizrsn-locked .ab-item:before { color: inherit !important; } ### wpadminbar .flizrsn-unlocked .ab-item:before { color: inherit !important; } ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/9e2258f76de42fc3cc21b972b061053a090eb5c12588c456ee214f4db4e82b94? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[A Nice Addon Plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-nice-addon-plugin/)󠁿 [ng63](https://profiles.wordpress.org/ng63/) སྤྱི་ཟླ་དགུ་པ། 16, 2019 Very reassuring to actually see the status of the restricted site access plugin at a glance in the admin bar. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/c218b89fc788d05da86b3bda28ddf5fceb4a9d2df10adb46d6014e183938b269? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Works as advertised](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-as-advertised-385/)󠁿 [Jay](https://profiles.wordpress.org/uscore713/) སྤྱི་ཟླ་བཅུ་གཉིས་པ། 17, 2016 It’s simple.
